Scandanavia Part 2

[Ps3Steveo]

Had nothing but grief with a 1-2 grow supplier that says on their site in stock when they are clearly not as you put in an order then it gets send to Denmark, then the plants are sent from there. If they're not ready they just miss some off your order, and leave them out so went and ordered a load more from elsewhere and got them today, few changes but nothing major, so for the re scaping............FINALLY!!!

Out of curiosity, where are you getting plants from at the moment. Everywhere I look restocks in the wrong half of the week for me and are out of stock by the time I can be to receive delivery.

Online mate, aquarium gardening and aqua essentials.

Ok here's where it stands, this is a few pic's from start to finish of planting, still adding Riccia stones amongst the rocks to blend them a little, just not got round to it yet. You can see the 4 pots of 1-2 grow on the right, that's the huge space that looks like there are no plants there, thing is it will switch completely as the tall ones now will melt down and begin submerged growth and the 1-2 grow plants will just shoot up quick.

Little bit of change, got some Limnophila Aromatica and some Pogostemon Helferi in there now, Limno needs a trim already, was put in after I gave the rest a hack back and is up at the surface already. Had some algae issues but as you can see its turned white after a dose of carbon and is retreating.
